Hadith 77
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Allah Almighty will not seize knowledge by snatching it away from the people, but He will take away knowledge by the death of the scholars. When no scholar remains, people will take ignorant ones as leaders; when they are asked for religious verdicts, they will issue fatwas without knowledge. They will go astray themselves and will lead others astray as well.”
